Rapid-play is defined as being a game where players’ thinking time is more than ten minutes but less than 60. Whoever’s flag falls first loses the game – they’ve “lost on time”. The digital clocks count down, and analogue clocks, where used, are set at half-past four, flag falls (time’s up) at 6 o’clock.

Another method is to have a fixed element plus increment: each player has a basic amount of time, but every move they make gains extra time on the clock, say 5 seconds a move digital clocks are necessary for this.įor our League games (certainly in the lower Divisions) and our own tournaments we favour a fixed all-moves time control of 90 minutes each (i.e. There are various ways Tournaments and Leagues determine their time-control: this could be one fixed time of say 90 minutes for all moves each, or to have a time-control for a certain number of moves followed by a fixed ‘quick play finish’ (QPF) to complete all remaining moves (example: 36 moves in an hour and 15 minutes, followed by 15 minutes each QPF to complete all remaining moves). Standard chess games are defined by the international Chess body FIDE as being chess games where each player’s thinking time is at least 60 minutes.
Standard Standard: chess clocks at 90 minutes each Online you might see a time control described as a number followed by a + another number – for example 5+3: it will be the base amount of time in minutes + number in seconds for the increment: 5 minutes plus 3 seconds per move in this example (for a Blitz game).Īnother type of time control can also be set on the time for each move. Time duration is usually defined as the amount of time each player gets to complete the game, and can be formed of a base set amount of time plus an option for extra time added with each move made – called an increment (such as 5 seconds per move and so on). Standard and Rapid are just two of several types of chess game duration. What are the differences between these types of game? And what are Blitz and Bullet games? We take a minute to look into the different types of chess game. We also checked out a former No.1 from AI Games FZ, the team behind Stack Ball 3D from Azur, and a super satisfying game from the Voodoo’s that is a perfect game fusion of Bottle Flip 3D and AMSR Slicing, very cool indeed.The English Chess Federation grading database gives two types of Grades: your Standard grade and your Rapid-play grade. So now might be the time to get your thinking caps on and see what you could do to jump on this. Whilst not directly connected, Homa Games have just released Attack on Giants! which is in the same ballpark. SayGames released Muscle Rush which we played on the show and earlier last week Lion Studios launched The Big Hit. I guess people have hit the point where all the low hanging fruit ideas have been done already. This is a natural progression from the girly themes where body parts extend and grow creating interesting gameplay and somewhat unique level design opportunities. We’re seeing an emerging trend of body morphing games appear which was most likely started loosely with Giant Rush! from TapNation.
There’s also Hair Challenge from Rollic and Hair Dye! from Crazy labs sitting at No1 & No.2 respectively in the overall iOS US Games Chart.Īlso keep an eye out for Voodoo’s Hair rush which was a definitely a contender to play this month.
This girly vibe has seen a ton of variations ranging from shoes, to nails, pole dancing and make up.
Starting with the release of High Heels back in January from Rollic, which subsequently moved over to the Zynga account on February the 4th, the trend for April certainly continues with the wave of female or feminine themed games.
